ProQuest Civil War Era, a new digital resource that makes researching the American Civil War and its context more direct and complete than ever before, is now available from ProQuest.
ProQuest Civil War Era is the first research solution to collect, digitize and combine in a single search platform the era's key newspapers and activist publications, creating a comprehensive view of not only the years of battle, but also the factors leading to war.
Why did territorial expansion fuel the slavery argument to the point of civil war? Was there more to the Southern argument than just a defense of slavery? What were the reasons for Northern aversion to the Lincoln administration? Was Emancipation driven by great humanitarian impulses or the necessities of war? More than just battles, ProQuest Civil War Era explores the key political and social viewpoints of the period as well.
"While a plethora of Civil War resources are available, ProQuest Civil War Era is the only one to digest coverage of both the 4-years of military battle and the 'war of words' that severed North from South into a truly comprehensive resource, said Barbara Beach, vice president of publishing for ProQuest. "The content in this collection has been digitized material previously available only in print or film formats, fulfilling a growing need for primary source material related to the Civil War and its historical and societal context."
Available on the ProQuest platform, ProQuest Civil War Era can be cross-searched with ProQuest Historical Newspapers and American Periodicals Series Online. For more information, preview the ProQuest Civil War Demo today.
